126 SMITHSONIAX MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIOXS VOL. J2 



Numerous other sites were explored, yielding a collection of pottery, 

 stone implements and other ohjects, illustrating the life of the pre- 

 historic ahorigines of eastern Texas. 



Everything found implies that the Indians of this region lived in 

 relatively settled villages, had considerable agriculture, made pottery 

 extensively and of a high-grade, and were altogether in a considerably 

 higher stage of culture than were those who occupied the prairies 

 and plains.
